Chapter 484: The Great Army from the North!

Awooo!

As the light sphere exploded, white arcs of lightning instantly enveloped the five Mado giant lizards.

The five Mado giant lizards could only let out a wail before their bodies stiffened, lost their balance, and crashed straight to the ground.

Due to inertia, the fallen Mado giant lizards continued to slide forward.

Finally, the Mado giant lizards slid right up to Mil and the others before finally coming to a halt.

"This... this..." Seeing the giant beast less than a meter away from them, with eyes larger than their own heads, Mil and the others were both shocked and overjoyed.

They were certain to die, yet such a turn of events had occurred.

Roar, roar, roar!

At this moment, a roar came from above.

It was the five Griffin Knights; seeing the Mado giant lizards fall, they let out disdainful low growls, as if to say, 'With us here, do not think to act rashly!'

"Is... is this our Griffin Knight?"

"It seems so; otherwise, why would he attack these Mado giant lizards?"

"But, didn't they just come from the north?"

"This... this is unclear, but it is true that they helped us!"

Mil and the others looked up at the Griffin Knights, their eyes filled with gratitude.

They had previously thought these Griffin Knights were bred by the Beast Clan, but now, these Griffin Knights had intervened to save them.

This meant the identity of the Griffin Knights still needed investigation.

"Everyone, make way! The President is here!"

Just then, shouts came from behind Mil and the others; it was the President and a host of great nobles rushing over.

They had seen even more clearly just now that the five Griffin Knights had actively attacked the Mado giant lizards, so, were these Griffin Knights on their side?

"Are you all unharmed?"

"President, we are unharmed!"

Upon arriving close by, the President glanced at the still-paralyzed Mado giant lizards and immediately turned to Mil and the others with concerned questions.

Mil and the others were deeply honored and hurriedly assured him they were fine.

The President nodded, then raised his head to look into the sky. "Griffin Knights, I am the President of the Northern Region. I wish to ask, where are you Griffin Knights from? Are you of our Kingdom?"

The Griffin Knights above had already begun to gain altitude, but upon hearing this, one of them lowered his height again.

"Your Excellency the President, we are Griffin Knights of the Kingdom, however, regarding our specific origin, since we have not received permission from our My Lord, please forgive us for not disclosing it!" the Griffin Knight gave his answer.

And the one who answered was naturally Mick.

He had come ahead by order of Gervas to confirm the status of the main army.

Upon learning this, the Beast King did not stop him, after all, at present, his sole priority was saving Sukama and his youngest prince.

And Gervas, to avoid unnecessary complications, had instructed Mick not to initiate attacks unless absolutely necessary.

And Mick had strictly followed this; if he had not seen that several Mado giant lizards would cause great harm to the Kingdom's nobles, he might not have ordered the attack.

"Are they truly Griffin Knights of our Kingdom? Does that mean there is support nearby?"

"Yes? If there really is support, then do we not still have a chance to evacuate?"

Before the President could say anything, the great and small nobles hearing Mick's answer grew excited one by one.

In their understanding, only great nobles or the King possessed Griffin Knights.

Moreover, Griffin Knights rarely acted alone; in most cases, they operated in coordination with ground armies.

So, since these Griffin Knights belonged to their Kingdom, what if there really was a ground force?

Although such hope was very slim, after all, these Griffin Knights had unusually come from the north.

But the desire to survive of the crowd was too strong to resist; now, like a drowning person, even a straw could be taken as hope.

Even the President could not escape this custom; he also excitedly continued to ask Mick above: "Your Excellency Griffin Knight, then why did you appear from the north? Additionally... did you come alone, or is there a ground force?"

As the President's words fell, all the nobles on the ground held their breath, waiting tensely for the answer.

And Mick's answer above was very straightforward. "We took a detour from the west to the wasteland; now, to return to the Kingdom, we are coming from the north!"

"As for whether we came alone... Your Excellency the President, our Griffin squad came following the main army; our main army is, um, now almost here, you will see them soon!"

Huh!

"What... did I hear? That Griffin Knight said they came following the main army; is our main army really coming?"

"Your Excellency, you heard correctly, I heard it too, and he said that main army is arriving soon!"

"But... why is the main army coming from the north, and shouldn't there be many Orcs in the north? How did those Orcs let them pass directly? And we haven't heard the sounds of battle?"

"I don't know! The Griffin Knight above said so; they wouldn't be lying to us, would they?"

Mick's answer was like a bucket of cold water splashed into a hot pan.

In an instant, the great and small nobles erupted into a clamor.

That a main army was truly coming from the north was, to them, no different from a dream.

Indeed, the nobles now began to doubt again; were the Griffin Knights above deceiving them?

"Two Dukes, what do you think?"

The President was now also filled with doubt and suspicion.

He clearly also hoped there really was a reinforcement force in the north.

But the Griffin Knight above had answered so straightforwardly that he felt it was somewhat unreal.

This feeling of gain and loss caused the President to lose his composure.

"President, we have no choice now; regardless of whether this Griffin Knight is deceiving us, it actually matters little!"

"If what he says is true, then naturally that is best; perhaps we can receive rescue!"

"And if what he says is false, we will not be worse off than we are now. What we need to do now is continue trying to break out!" Duke Hernand was the first to give his answer.

Duke Lieshi did not speak, but nodded slightly, clearly approving of Duke Hernand's opinion.

"In that case, let us continue to break out..."

Woo-woo-woo!

After hearing the opinions, the President immediately prepared to order the breakout to continue.

But just then, a horn sound suddenly came from behind the orcs.

Hearing this horn sound, the orc leaders and the orc soldiers fighting in the battle were stunned.

After reacting, the orc soldiers, like a tide, began to disengage from the fight and retreat toward the surroundings.

The orc leaders glanced at the great and minor nobles, then turned their heads and went directly toward the high platform where they had been before.

"This... this... the orcs are actually retreating?"

"What do they want, or is there some trick?"

"What trick could this be? If they retreat now, doesn't that make it easier for us to break out?"

The great and minor nobles were dumbfounded.

The kingdom soldiers who had been fighting to the death also stood there dumbfounded, holding their weapons.

"Your Excellencies, our main army has arrived. You need not worry; wait here for now!" At this moment, the voice of the Griffin Knight came from above.

After speaking, the Griffin Knight rose in altitude again and then swept toward the north.
